Keep On Going and Don't Turn Back | Overcoming Mental Blocks and Embracing Challenges

Welcome back to Shadow Ascent! In this raw and real video, I open up about the recent struggles I faced with depression, especially in the aftermath of the comfort and chaos of the holiday season. But rather than succumbing to that familiar trap, I decided to take action.

Join me on a journey through my trail run, a deliberate effort to hit the reset button on my mental state. I share the battle against the "little bitch voice" inside my head, aiming to quiet its relentless chatter.

Throughout the vlog, witness the moments where doubt crept in, questioning if turning back was the easier path. Yet, I pressed on, determined to overcome the mental barriers. The mud, the challenges—it was all symbolic of the internal turmoil I was pushing against.

As the run concludes, I reflect on the triumph of not giving up, despite the temptation to retreat. I delve into practical advice on how I confronted this challenge head-on and how embracing smaller obstacles can pave the way for a collective victory. It's all about those mini wins that culminate into a significant, overarching success.
